The lithiation of ferrocenylphosphane Fc-PH(2) (Fc = -C(5)H(4)FeC(5)H(5)) has been reinvestigated and both Fc-PHLi and Fc-PLi(2) have been identified by NMR-spectroscopy. The lithiated phosphanides have been converted to the corresponding mono and bis(silylated) species the latter of which gave synthetic access to an oligomer in which three ferrocene units are symmetrically connected by phospha...

The title compound, [Ti(C(5)H(5))(2)(C(16)H(11)NO(5))]·H(2)O, exhibits a titanocene unit coordinated to a styrene-substituted pyridine-2,6-dicarboxyl-ate ligand synthesized for use as a monomer for polymerization or copolymerization yielding metallocene-containing polymers. The compound crystallized as a monohydrate and the solvent water mol-ecule forms strong O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds with the carb...

A simple and efficient synthesis of aryl and heteroaryl substituted pyrimidines has been developed via initial Knoevenagal, subsequent addition and final cyclization of aldehyde, ethylcyanoacetate and guanidine nitrate. Piperidine has been used as a catalyst. Short reaction time, environment friendly procedure and excellent yields are the advantages of this procedure. All synthesized compounds ...

Catalyst selectivity is associated with well-defined homogeneous active sites. Transition metal complexes and organocatalysts are highly active and selective in the homogeneous phase, and their heterogenization by incorporating them into inorganic solid materials allows combining their excellent catalytic activity with improved separation, recovering and recycling properties. In this article, w...

The aim of this paper is to analyze how different catalyst activity profiles influence the operating strategies of industrial reactors. Based on this analysis a method that can be used to transform information given by laboratory reactor experiments into a form which can be used to estimate the productivity of the catalyst and the quality properties of polymers under industrial conditions is pr...

Two novel hydrodesulfurization (HDS) catalysts: FeN4/C and FeN2/C, were prepared using an impregnation-pyrolysis method. The two materials were investigated as catalysts for hydrodesulfurization (HDS) and hydrodearomitization (HDA) of model compounds. The turnover frequency of the two FeN catalysts is comparable to (FeN4/C) or even higher (FeN2/C) than that of MoNi/Al2O3. The FeN4/C catalyst al...
